UrinatingTree: The Man Who Pulled a 180 on his Career, and Lives to Tell the Tale.

         If you follow sports on YouTube, especially in the past 5 years, then the name UrinatingTree should be familiar to you. His Channel is mainly focused around sports, although that's not how his channel has always been. He did eventually become one of the most popular sports Channels on YouTube, but that's not where he started out. He first started of as a simple video game reviewer.

        His first review was of the game Superman 64, which multiple reviewers have already reviewed by then. He would then upload another review, and that's it. There are only two game reviews because because he deleted the rest of his reviews. However, people have managed to reupload some of his old videos, like this guy who reuploaded his review of Shaq Fu. He eventually took a three year hiatus, and came back with this video about the mainstream media. Eventually, on November 30 2016, UTree uploaded the video that would set the pat of his YouTube career forever, the video he made on the Cleveland Browns. That video would skyrocket his popularity, and set him up to be the angry sports guy of YouTube. Eventually, after making a couple more videos talking about video games, and one about the election, UTree made another sports video about the Jacksonville Jaguars

        He used this video to wriggle his way out of the gaming community, and it seems to have worked. For the next year and a half he would talk almost entirely about sports, except for one satirical video he made about Venezuela. He would however make a video where he fully disavowed himself from the gaming community, which I consider one of, if not the, best non-sports videos he has ever made. On top of all of UTree's own videos, he also is a co-host of an internet sports show called "The Dumpster Fire", and along with the host, FivePoint Vids, where they talk about sports in a more in-depth manner than on there own channels. 

        So, in conclusion, UrinatingTree serves as an amazing inspiration to those who want to change what their doing on YouTube, or any part of the internet. A man who was once just another game reviewer, and shitposter, became one of the most succesful sports YouTubers on YouTube. He found a way to wriggle out of the Video Game Reviewing Community, and once he got out, he never went back. He now has nearly 380K subs, and has earned his place amungst the Sports Community of the internet. As a fan of his, I hope he gets 400k subs by the end of this year, and I hope he finds success in what he does for years to come.
